East Tennessee is our home region and the area we know best. We are based in Newport, in the middle of it, which makes this the part of the country where we can be most useful on the practical details rather than just the sale.
Communities we regularly work with
Knoxville, Morristown, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dandridge, Jefferson City, Greeneville, Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Maryville, Athens, Cleveland, Crossville and Chattanooga, along with the smaller towns and rural properties between them.
What the terrain means for your order
East Tennessee covers very different ground within a short distance. The valley floors along I-40 and I-81 are straightforward. The ridges, hollows and mountain lots are not. Within one county you can have a level commercial yard and a property reached by a steep gravel switchback.
That is why we ask about the site before we talk about sizes. A 40ft container suits a lot of storage needs, but it requires roughly 100 feet of straight, firm, reasonably level run to place. Where that is not available, two 20ft containers often solve the same problem and go in without trouble.
Weather and ground conditions
Wet spells matter here. Ground that carries a truck easily in August can rut badly in February, and a container set on soft ground can settle unevenly and leave the doors hard to close. We generally suggest preparing a base of gravel, concrete blocks or railroad ties under the corner castings before delivery.
Local knowledge, honestly applied
Permit and zoning requirements vary by city and county across the region, and they differ again between temporary storage, permanent placement and converted or occupied use. We will tell you what questions to ask, but you should confirm the answer with your local office, because we cannot predict how your parcel will be treated.
